Shaolin Animal

It's possible that they are mixed...there are a lot of mantis movements in there, but I also see some tongbei/fanzi (monkey)

[theshadowboy607]

so fast

[chineseboi12]

see the low stance and swaying motion...that's mantis

[RaginRussian]

Monkey has everything to do with shaolin you dumbass. I've trained thheir for six months and monkey footwork was applied to the mantis style because of the lack of mobility of the mantis. It could strike well but had no foot work.

[Tazz77]

It would be great to see some applications.

[culbriz]

That was a great clip, minchia! Kung Fu rocks!

[JSERSKINE]

the video is FASTER than reality... watch carefuly the crowd people heads moving abruptly.... the kung fu performer is not THAT fast

[Mahreu]

o_o look at the background how fast the people walk you will see that they walk normal pace.

[karatekid74]

it's a modified mantis form....but mantis nevertheless. Oh yeah, the animal forms like "monkey" are associated with Shaolin just like mantis, tiger, eagle....

[ahickman11]

see how he swung his hands about? thats phoenix

[FightingWarrior]

This is NO WAY Shaolin Kung Fu but some modern Wushu shit. Monkey has nothing to do with Shaolin.

[TomTomMusic]

Im so into Pi Qua Quan Im going to learn that fighting style someday

[bluetubexd]

the announcer in the video even said that it was praying mantis...

[vyplus]

I'll guess you guys are very inn to Kung fu, I'm So to;). yes it looks like praying mantis.

[helloedwin]

It's devil horse style

[lilhustler88]

its mantis hand movement n coordination. like mantis hands

[chinogon]

its PRAYING MANTIS!!!!!!!!! crane is more slowly and more smood. and its not a grappling style b/c it comes from the NORTHHERN SHAOLING TEMPLES...

mostly the grappling method like tiger crane fist & grappling method come from the SOUTH!

[jeffdoeskungfu]

Mantis style uses monkey footwork. :\

[b65768]

I SEE CRANE MONKEY AND MANTIS ITS A MIX

[CYBERXED]

Yeah it's monkey riht. Look at his hand.

And its face lol :D

[Ghandharva]

Is this occuring near the temple?? Someone knows which?

[sylvester134]

praying mantis style

[bicepsqueezer]

which style is this? does anyone know if it is the monkey??

[leonheart00]

No, Monkey is a style where the person is always low to the ground almost. It is a grappling style and usually the practitioner is on his/her knees or jumping around like a monkey! Very odd... and I often question how much of it is practical. Also they are big about sweeps.

I believe that actually was a Northern Mantis Wushu (The Sport Dance sort of Wushu.. although many people do not realise Wushu really is a better word to depict Chinese Martial Arts in general than Kung fu)

Good video.
